## What it is
django-filer is a file and image management application for Django, providing an admin-integrated interface for organizing, uploading, and managing media files. It is officially endorsed by the django CMS Association and commonly used as the media backend for django CMS projects.

## Use cases
- manage uploaded files and images in a django admin
- organize media assets into folders for a django cms site
- pick images from a central library when editing cms pages
- handle file uploads with thumbnails and metadata in django
- centralize media file storage across multiple django apps

## When to choose
- you run django CMS and need its endorsed media/file management backend
- you want a folder-based file and image manager integrated into the django admin
- you need centralized media handling with thumbnails and permissions in django

## When to avoid
- you use a non-Django web framework
- you only need simple static file serving without admin management
- you need a headless digital asset management system for non-Django stacks
